Fade and Crossfade Preferences
You can set default fade and crossfade settings.
These settings load as your “base” settings when
you use the Create Fades command, and the
Fade to Start and Fade to End commands.
To set the fade and crossfade preferences:
1
Choose Setup > Preferences and click the
Editing tab.
2
Set the Pre-Roll and Post-Roll times for Fade
previews.
3
Click Fade In and set the default shape for
fade-ins, then click OK.
4
Click Fade Out and set the default shape for
fade-outs, then click OK.
5
Click Crossfade and set the default shape for
crossfades, then click OK.
6
Click OK.
Creating Fades at the
Beginnings and Ends of
Regions
Pro Tools lets you create fade-ins and fade-outs
at the beginnings and ends of regions.
With Pro Tools HD, you can also use an auto-
matic fade-in/out option, which applies
real
time
fade-ins/outs to all regions during play-
back. These fades are not written to disk, but are
automatically applied during playback. For
more information, see “Using AutoFades” on
page 475.
Creating Fade-Ins and Fade-Outs
Depending on how you make the selection, you
can position a fade-in or fade-out at the exact
beginning or end of a region, or position it so it
extends into a blank area of the track. The
length of the selection in the region determines
the length of the fade-in or fade-out.
You can also fade to the beginning or end of a
region from an insertion point.
Although fades appear to be discrete regions,
they cannot be separated from the regions in
which they were created.
When changing tempo in a tick-based audio
track, fade-ins and fade-outs remain with their
parent regions. Fades maintain their absolute
duration and are consequently recalculated after
any tempo changes.
